To borrow from former U.S. Vice-President Joe Biden: "this is a big f***ing deal". In what is undoubtedly the BBC's biggest move in U.S. scripted acquisitions in years, they have inked a content partnership (effectively an output deal) with FX Networks that will make the Beeb the UK home to all future FX original comedy and drama series. 
American Crime Story is returning to the Beeb. BBC Two has picked up the first run UK broadcast rights to the second season of Ryan Murphy's FX anthology series from international distributor Twentieth Century Fox Television Distribution, TVWise has learned. 
FX is adding to the cast of American Crime Story. Ricky Martin has boarded the anthology drama series from Ryan Murphy for its third season, subtitled Versace, TVWise has learned. He will play Antonio D'Amico, the longtime partner of murdered fashion designer Gianni Versace. 
At the top of their executive panel at the Television Critics Association Winter Press Tour, FX announced that they had renewed American Horror Story for a further two seasons. Network topper John Landgraf also announced that the second seasons of American Crime Story and Atlanta have been delayed until 2018.
